matters, severe inclement weather, we can create together
TRANSCRIPT
NEWS YOU CAN USE
Our nation is experiencing its most
significant dose of trauma, devastation,
clutter and malaise in its history.
Wrecking havoc has been the ravishing
and deadly COVID-19 phenomena,
heightened racial and social injustice
matters, severe inclement weather, poor
economy, soaring political partisanship and
elevated stress.
While none of us is immune from
disruption of these factors on our life’s
journey, there are signs that we will rise
up and will become stronger because of
the current sputtering in our forward
progress. One example is the arrival of
the COVID-19 vaccine. This generation
of the vaccine holds promises to contain
the spread of the virus and is expected to
be a key factor in the recovery of the
nation.
Practitioners and providers that have
elected to enter or have entered the
primary care marketplace have sustained
their position as a driving force to
promote wellness and/or treat and rehab
the population that encounters illness.
BI-MONTHLY HEALTH JOURNAL & GUIDE
DECEMBER 2020
CHAIR & CEO MESSAGE DR. LERLA G. JOSEPH
CVCHIP has emerged as a leading and
reliable resource that has increasing
capacity to respond effectively to
Medicare recipients in the Richmond,
Hampton Roads and Fredericksburg
areas.
This issue of the Journal and Guide
captures the channels of success of our
Accountable Care Organization (ACO).
CVCHIP has exceeded my expectations
as its founder and current Chair and
CEO. I am excited, energized and
enthused about the path forward that
we can create together in the upcoming
year. You continue to make my day
through your support. In closing,
please accept my best wishes for a
memorable holiday season for you,
your family and other loved ones.

WORDS OF INSPIRATION: THE POWER OF PERSISTENCE...LEADERS STAY THE COURSE!
How many times as a leader have you felt the best option was to surrender! I have toyed with this notion on more than one occasion as challenges to move forward seemed insurmountable. This thinking dissipates in a short time as I clear the clutter that blinds me and use the outcome from employing root cause analysis. I also am steeped with the wisdom of greats such as those shown below:
1. "Don't jump ship. Stay the course, the wind will change blowing you to calmer seas." (Message from Cruise Bruise);
2. "When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place." (Author Unknown); and
3. Keep in mind that "tough times don't last, but tough people do. Never give up!" (Robert Schuller).
Another motivator that has helped me to stay the course is captured in a thought shared by Dr. Mirta Martin, President of Fairmont State University(WVA)in a LinkedIn
“If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. If you see someone being
ignored, find a way to include them. Always remind people of their worth. One small act could mean the world to them.”

INTERESTED IN KICKING THE DECEMBER HOLIDAY BLUES TO
THE CURB...YOU MAY WANT TO LEAN ON THE POSITIVE THINKING CAPTURED IN THE FOLLOWING POEM
The Following Poem Helps To Substantiate
That Positive Thinking Takes Place at Any Age
Garden of Your Mind
What are you growing in the garden of your mind –
what do you water nourish, feed?
Do you plant seeds of forgiveness, of love,
or do you fertilize weeds of anger resentment, fear?
What are you growing in the garden of your heart?
Do you allow sunshine to reach dark pain in the corners of your heart –
Do you allow tears to wash it clean and nourish it –
Or do you put up fences to keep out the feelings?
Get on your knees grow your own food
decide what it is you want in your soil. Know what you are cultivating
what you are growing – a lot can grow in the garden of your body
if you let it seed nourish it
allow it watch it grow.
